Sensible People,
The Seeds
We offer native seeds to the regions featured 
on the centerfold map. Diverse groups of 
businesses, government agencies, schools, 
nonprofit organizations, land managers and 
home owners are using these seeds to solve 
common landscape problems.
What Problems  
Here you find no promotion of plants from 
Morocco, Paraguay, Brazil or Europe. Know 
that bermudagrass and African daisy are 
from the other side of the planet. Crimson 
clover, baby’s breath, corn poppy and 
dame’s rocket are from Europe. Train your 
eye to recognize the exotics and their 
consequences. The use of exotics may 
require that you attempt to “control the 
elements.” Often these exotics go out of 
control and, lacking balance in their new 
environment, may take over large areas of 
land when planted here.
The Waste 
By planting exotics, your time, money and 
energy may be wasted. Activities such as 
replanting each year, spraying dangerous 
chemicals, working hours or days each 
week on boring maintenance or worse yet, 
continual watering may be required. All are 
unwise choices for our budgets, the quality 
of our water, and our land.
The Benefits   
With simple truths, it's possible to make 
clear choices. Native seeds belong in your 
landscape. Native plants and grasses work 
for you! They require no extra watering 
once established. They are naturally disease 
and bug resistant. Fertilizing, not required. 
Grueling maintenance is unnecessary. We 
guarantee you will enjoy these benefits.
The Value
Why not embrace what remains of our 
natural world? The open prairies and 
meadows, the deep woods. The wet 
marshes, creeks and rivers. The dry deserts 
and mountains. Value native vegetation as 
food and habitat for other living creatures. 
They yearn to live in harmony with us.
Choices About the Future 
As time has run out for many native 
habitats, consider leaving your land in  
better condition than you found it. Make 
informed choices about the future of the 
land, be responsible and plant native seeds. 
You have the power to make a difference! 
Become native to your place. Choose a 
path of stewardship and a lifetime of 
wonder and learning.
